Chapter Ninety-Seven: Nightfall

On a spring night in the Dablis Mountains, the clear night sky was full of stars, and the silver moonlight gently covered the Tables Mountains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The cool night breeze gently blows, the mountains and forests next to the camp rustle in the night wind, and the insects in the mountains and forests play a serenade, so that Joanna can't help but sigh that the Dablis Mountains are so quiet at night.

Joanna put away her coat, and her golden pupils quietly looked at the dark mountains and forests outside the camp, even if the moonlight was so bright tonight, the mountains and forests were still dark at a glance.

On the periphery of the camp, the guards of the night watch patrolled dutifully, their footsteps very slight and did not disturb the rest of the others, but Joanna could still hear them clearly.

Joanna sat quietly by the campfire, her task was only to keep watch in the middle of the night, so she sat quietly by the campfire with the Sword of Thorn Flower.

"Zachary, did you say that there are really rumored monsters here, I don't think there is anything abnormal here, it's very peaceful."

Joanna is very dutiful on the surface, but in fact, she is communicating with Zachary spirit.

As a sword spirit, Zachary doesn't need to rest, as long as he has enough mental power, he can keep moving, and then he is a knight at the peak of legend, although his mental power cannot be compared with those mages, but he has comprehended the power of the law, and his spiritual power is still as broad as the sea for ordinary people.

"I don't know, but so many people have seen it, so I don't think the rumors will be groundless."

Hearing Zachary say this, Joanna nodded her chin slightly, and just wanted to continue chatting with Zachary to relieve the boredom of the vigil.

Joanna seemed to sense something, and her body stopped chatting, staring closely at the dark mountains and forests in the distance with her big eyes.

The bright moonlight shone on the trade road, so that everything on the trade road clearly fell into Joanna's eyes, but on the contrary, the mountains and forests on both sides of the trade road were pitch black, and even Joanna's vision could not see what was going on inside.

But her instincts, honed by several life-and-death battles, told Joanna that there was something in the forest, and something was moving in the forest.

"Poof!"

With a soft sound, Joanna had already stood up, the Sword of the Thorn Flower pinned to her waist, and the other standard longsword had been pulled out of her scabbard and held in her hand.

Staring at the pitch-black mountain forest, Joanna carefully moved her feet to that side.

"Hey, little girl, what are you doing?"

The mountains and forests in the distance had not yet moved, and the caravan guards patrolling the night had already noticed Joanna's movements, and one of the guards who had been ordered by Arnold to watch Joanna's every move shouted softly.

Joanna did not answer the shouts of the guards, but carefully walked out of the camp with her sword in her hand, cautiously came to the main road, and pointed the sword in her hand towards the forest.

Seeing Joanna's behavior, no matter how sluggish the caravan guards were, they understood that something was wrong, and the little girl seemed to have discovered something.

"Go and wake up the captain, you guys come along!"

After assigning his duties to the guards around him, the captain of the vigil immediately walked to Joanna's side with several guards, and while guarding Joanna, his eyes also looked in the direction of Joanna's sight.

The darkness of the night cut off everyone's vision, and no matter how hard they tried, a few guards couldn't find anything in the forest.

"Little girl, what did you find?"

The captain of the night vigil frowned and looked at Joanna beside him, he really didn't notice anything in the forest, but after seeing Joanna's solemn expression, he began to wonder if it was because his perception was too low.

He tightened his right hand holding the sword, and was about to ask Joanna what was going on, when suddenly a companion's exclamation came from beside him.

"Hey! Look there, it looks like something is moving! ”

The captain of the night vigil heard the exclamation of his companions, hurriedly turned his head, and looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, with the help of the bright moonlight and the guidance of his companions, he finally noticed that something was wrong, the night wind was gentle, but the wind was not strong enough to make a tree that did not know how many hundred years old shake so violently.

"Damn, the night was too thick to see what was going on."

Looking at the dark mountains and forests, the team leader of the night vigil couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and cold sweat continued to secrete from the palm of the sword holder.

I don't know when, the mountain forest with the sound of insect chirping suddenly became extremely silent, and the original insect chirping and nocturnal bird chirping completely disappeared.

Several guards also sensed that something was wrong, it didn't seem to be an ordinary wild creature, otherwise there would be no such power that would make all the birds and insects in the nearby mountains and forests dare not make a sound.

"What's the situation!"

At this moment, Arnold, the captain of the caravan's guards, had already walked over with more than two dozen guards, but as soon as the words fell, Arnold's eyes had already cast his eyes to the mountains and forests in the distance, a trace of solemnity flashed on his face, and the long sword at his waist was pulled out by him and held in his hand.

"What did you find?"

"Report to the captain, the night is too dark, and the situation in the mountains and forests is too strange, we don't dare to send anyone in, but this little girl found out first, captain."

Arnold turned his gaze to Joanna, who had been quietly watching the mountains and forests, and sensing Arnold's gaze, Joanna turned her head to look at him.

"I just sensed something coming, but I don't know what it is." Joanna shook her head slightly, "But I've heard in Agra City that many caravans in the area around here have found strange creatures appearing. ”

Arnold nodded, he had also heard these rumors in Agra City, and it was because of these rumors that his setup tonight was so complete.

"You, go back immediately and let the rest of the people prepare for battle, no one is allowed to leave the camp without my orders!"

"Yes!" An older guard immediately rushed back to the camp with a few guards, the caravan guards were not manpowered, and the remaining twenty or so people already accounted for a third of the number of guards.

It was their duty to protect the caravan, so Arnold did not dare to let the remaining guards out, and ordered them to guard the caravan.

After the order, Arnold's eyes turned to the girl beside him, the silver moonlight was draped over the girl's body like a gauze, and the long golden hair fluttered gently in the night breeze, making the girl look like a fairy out of the dust at this time. (To be continued.) )
